Thanks to this community and your friendly incite I’ve been given the skills to throw these together myself. It’s not much compared to the amazing work I see out there, but it’s really gratifying to put something together and know how the damn things works tops to tails.

    Personally I’m really happy that the buck driver’s inductor is short enough that it fits in the smaller S6+/S8+ engines. I need to pick up a few of the 8A ones to revamp some triples I have…

      H17fx with fet and double click turbo is hard to beat. That being said, the 8a buck driver is a godsend for a lot of different builds

        Agreed. I really like the UI on the H17Fx, but I prefer a simpler mode progression UI on the reverse clickies. The 8A should give a nice punch to some shorty triples I built for use around the house while having plenty of runtime on the lower side.

        Kinda wish he had a 1 or 2A buck driver too. Not every light needs to empty an 18350 in 20 minutes.
